A modular storage and order picking system, comprising:

• a storage unit having a plurality of through-flow channels arranged perpendicular to the storage unit for receiving a plurality of storage containers for storing articles, wherein each through-flow channel is inclined relative to the horizontal and is configured to store multiple storage containers, one in front of the other, such that when a front-most storage container is removed from a through-flow channel, a second storage container in the through-flow channel automatically moves into the front most position,
• an order picking unit arranged on one or both end faces of the storage unit and having one or more dispensing spaces for removing articles and one or more target spaces for collating articles relating to an order or partial order,
• at least one conveyor unit arranged along the longitudinal axis of the storage unit for conveying storage containers between the storage unit and the order picking unit,
• wherein the storage unit has a self-supporting frame structure, on which the order picking unit and the conveyor unit are mounted in a manner detachably connected to one another,
• wherein the self-supporting frame structure is configured to have at least one of:
• dimensions corresponding to internal dimensions of a standard 40-foot container;
• and
• dimensions corresponding to maximum dimensions of a semi-trailer:
• and
• wherein the storage unit, the order picking unit and the conveyor unit are functionally connected to one another by means of detachable mechanical and electrical plug-in connections.
